Ying Bo lost his legs forever in this battle.
When he resisted with his sword, two halberd soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, used the sword blades on their halberds to cut off his hamstrings.
This was because Hua had told him to move as much as possible.
Hua did not kill Uncle Ying, nor deprive him of his position as king, nor even drive him out of the palace in Yingyi.
But he will be forever confined in this tall and strong, but not wide palace city.
This palace city was built by several generations of his clan and spent countless people and financial resources on expansion, reconstruction and reinforcement.
The rammed earth city wall, which is four battles high and five battles wide at the base and covered with mesh bars, should have been able to protect the final integrity of the Yingwang family.
But it was broken by Hua in a short time.
From now on, this would be the palace city, the prison where he and his family were imprisoned, and the barracks where Xia State garrisoned troops in Ying State.
He is unwilling to do so.
But the other party is obviously not a human being, but a god, and he must be convinced even if he is unwilling to do so.
I just regretted that I had robbed Hua's caravan out of curiosity.
In fact, Uncle Ying didn't need to regret it, because the country of Ying was the place that Hua was determined to win.
Regardless of whether there was a robbery of the caravan or not, it was only a matter of time before he got the place.
In the end, Ying Bo used his seal on the surrender, and Ying State became the first vassal state of Xia State.
Ying Bo also became Ying Hou.
At this time, Hua was in the front hall receiving various leading figures from the Ying Kingdom, including the elders.
Let them elect a consul to be responsible for the specific administrative affairs in the future of the country.
The system's task completion prompt sounded in my ears.
Ding Main mission 8 "Conquer the country as a vassal country" is completed.
Congratulations to the lord for getting 500 points as reward.
Officials from the State of Ying led Hua to visit the newly discovered gold mine, that is, the copper mine.
After Hua's inspection, he found that this was a rich mixed ore that could directly smelt bronze.
If systematic smelting facilities were used, red copper could also be purified.
This mining site is only thirty miles away from Yingyi.
At the foot of the mine cave mountain is the Shah River, which is connected to Ru River and has convenient transportation.
After calling up the system's map module, the straight-line distance from Huayi is less than 100 kilometers, which meets the conditions for building the system's copper smelting site.
Immediately ordered to recruit the labor of the citizens, build a fort here, place the mine in the fort, and build a charcoal burning place next to it.
It was completed within a four-month time limit.
Looking at the bitter look on the opponent's face, Hua said: "You won't have to wait for a year for taxes and tribute, and the Wubao doesn't need to be very large.
It's enough to station hundreds of troops, but it must be strong and dangerous, with mountain springs and wells inside for its own water supply."
The other party's wrinkled face like a walnut slowly relaxed.
Ding main quest 9 "Find a copper mine within a hundred kilometers from the main city", congratulations to the lord for getting 800 points.
Just when Hua was about to leave Yingyi and return, an official from Yingguo brought a woman to see Hua.
When Hua saw her, his heart moved.
This young woman is Hua's playmate Ai.
Not long after Hua was expelled from Iraq, due to the decline of his family, Hua's family could not support many slaves and resold many of them.
Among them was Ai.
This was done by Hua's mother herself and she specially selected a better family to sell Ai.
Later, he came to Yingguo as the young lady of the new owner's family got married.
Hua once sent hunters to look for him, but the family had already moved.
He didn't know which town in Ying State they had moved to, so he had no choice but to give up.
This time after Yingguo was captured, the matter was handed over to officials at all levels of Yingguo for investigation.
In fact, the family that Ai's mistress married into was not very kind and never treated slaves as human beings.
We all know this from officials.

When the two met, they were no longer the childhood sweethearts they were.
The inner turbulence is buried under the calm appearance.
There was a moment of silence.
Ai spoke first: "I have met my uncle."
Hua didn't say too much, and just said softly: "You have suffered a lot in the past few years.
Come back to Huayi with me.
That is your home."
Ai's eyes were filled with tears.
Ding, the temporary mission "Finding Ai" is completed.
Congratulations to the lord for earning 300 points.
After leaving a hundred tiger warriors to garrison in the palace city of Yingyi, Hua recruited eighty elephants from Yingguo and Yiguo and the elephant slaves who drove the elephants.
Pull the bamboo raft back to Huayi along the Ru River waterway.
In the future, these elephants and bamboo rafts will become special means of transportation connecting Huayi and Yingyi.
To this end, Hua took advantage of the slack farming and recruited 20 laborers to build a simple dock on the south bank of the Ru River outside the city gate of Huayi and a nearby The elephant garden at the dock was built, and a simple road from the dock to the city gate was built.
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, elephants were still very common in the Huanghuai River Basin and areas at the same latitude.
Many Fang countries use elephants for military purposes, but Hua believes that the traditional elephant cavalry has many hard shortcomings.
For example, it is easy to get frightened and bomb the camp, the supply consumption is amazing, and the actual combat power is not high.
The biggest advantage is the same as that of a tank, giving the enemy an overwhelming psychological advantage.
Among them, the shortcoming of huge supply consumption could be covered up in the Shang Dynasty in wilderness where vegetation was flourishing and elephant food could be found everywhere.
Therefore, Hua has never paid attention to the elephant cavalry unit that can be opened when the military camp is upgraded to the Bronze Age High Level, and the mahout tamer profession that can now be generated in civilian residences.
But now, inspired by the way elephants pull bamboo rafts, Hua has an idea for another way to use elephants in the military.
It's just that the scale of the "village chiefs fighting" type of war between small countries is not yet available.
On the southern slope of a hill in the basin behind Huayi City, a decent funeral was going on.
The dozens of soldiers who died in the battle, whether they were the Qilin Guards composed of system soldiers or the indigenous Tiger Ben, as well as the bodies of the ten soldiers escorting the caravan recovered by the hunters, were all buried together with the two soldiers who died in the earlier battle of Nanshan.
Together.
The survivors of Huben soldiers who died in battle received generous pension benefits.
During the winter slack season, Jingzhuang in the Huarang Basin did two things.
First, he started military training and distributed bronze daggers and bamboo bows made by the workshop.
Although the long dagger soldiers had various disadvantages, they were cheap, not only weapons.
It's cheap and soldiers can be trained quickly.
The second is to reclaim 500 acres of wasteland for experimental planting of double-crop rice.
Hua has verified from the Beicun village chief that farmers in the system can grow rice.
From this, Hua concluded that system farmers should be able to grow everything in the system crop seedling module.
During the militia military training, a new round of Huben recruitment was also conducted.
Because there were too many applicants, they had to be selected and eliminated.
Now, Mr.
Mai's caravan has begun to operate again and continues to provide a steady stream of manpower and materials to the Xia Kingdom.
However, its current size has remained unchanged, and it still brings in more than 30,000 yuan in profit every month.
On New Year's Day in the Shang calendar, the sound of firecrackers was crackling.
Artists in the city were busy setting up stalls under the winter sunshine, taking advantage of New Year's Day to earn more coins.
New Year's Day is the day when villagers are allowed to enter the city.
A festive atmosphere enveloped the entire Huayi and the two villages in the north and south.
Two days before the new year, Hua ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, and went down to the river to fish.
Hua also terminated the scouting mission of the strong-bow hunters early and returned to Huayi to concentrate on hunting for a period of time.
The warehouse granary was filled with more than 300 tons of grain.

Hua used 100 points to build a primary brewery by the river and allocated 20 tons of grain to brew coarse rice wine.
According to the palace officials who had tasted this wine first, it was better than the wine brought back by the caravan before.
On the day before New Year's Day, the wine and meat were distributed to the two military camps, the northern and southern villages, residential buildings and various facilities in the city.
Outside the house, the sound of firecrackers rang out as the palace people used bonfires to barbecue diabolos.
Ai, who was kneeling next to Hua, gave Hua a shot of wine with a wooden spoon.
Then he picked up the wine cup and greeted Hua: "The old is sent away, and the new is welcomed.
I wish the Lord to display his ambitions in the new year, and may you be blessed with blessings like flowers.
May you be happy."
"Congratulations," Hua responded with a smile and drank the wine in one gulp.
Now Ai is the only native who can live in the palace.
The two of them drank wine, tasted food, and chatted.
Unconsciously, alcohol gathered in their blood.
It was getting late too.
Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Ai's peach-like face asked drunkenly: "Uncle, do you need me to sleep with you tonight?"
"No, you are not a concubine" Hua said with a smile.
"What is that?"
Ai asked with a small smile.
"sister" "I don't dare," Ai said seriously.
"Then if you only treat me as your master, wouldn't I just be the same as your previous master?"
Hua said pretending to be angry.
"No, of course not.
I do regard my master as my brother."
"That's right."
"Do you have someone you like?"
Hua asked.
Ai nodded, her eyes blurred, and the figure of a man appeared in her mind.
He was also a slave back then, but now he has been forgotten in the world.
"Your Majesty, may I have someone you like?"
Ai smiled and changed the subject.
"There is a girl who impressed me deeply," Hua replied lightly.
The girl dressed in white from back then appeared in front of his eyes.
Note: Concubine is the title of a maid in the Shang Dynasty, not the meaning of "wife and concubine" in later generations.
